Become A Foster or Adoptive Family

Our ultimate goal would be for families to prayerfully consider opening their hearts to children that are in need of a loving family. Our vision is to create new homes for the children that are in need of a home.

Foster Families

In our community there are hundreds of children in the foster care system and agencies are in need of loving homes. In fact, churches are where agencies often reach out to find temporary loving homes. The church has a life changing opportunity to show Christ’s love to families and kids in need.

How to Start:

Pray if this is what God has for your family.

Request information on fostering, email journeyhome@trbc.org.

Consider meeting with a JourneyHome mentor family.

Start the training and application process for fostering children.

Serving Opportunities

Give Financially

Ephesians 1:3-6 is an incredible picture of the manner in which God adopted us into His family. God went so far and paid so much to adopt us. When we consider adopting a child, it is a journey of faith, an act that requires love, commitment, patience, and resources.

We understand that not all families will adopt or foster. We realize that many still want to help make a difference and you might feel that your next step is to invest financially to assist adoptive and fostering families. Financial gifts often make adoption possible for loving families. Your contributions are always welcomed and may be either donated to the general JourneyHome ministry to families or designated to funds specifically for foster and adoption.
